Say 'YES' to Marriage Equality!
Message from the CEO
VOTE YES: HISA has joined the growing number of Australian organisations speaking out to support marriage equality. At the time of printing we are one of 2071 organisations that have voiced their support by signing the Australian Marriage Equality open letter. While we acknowledge members will have their own views, collectively we work across the whole range of healthcare and together we champion an individual’s right to equity and access to services. As a healthcare community, we frequently speak out on social issues and speak up for human rights on every level. Marriage equality is no different. It’s about a fair deal for all Australians, and that is something HISA will always stand up for.
